Mill below a Waterfall

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rustic countryside scene with a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon line is towards the upper third of the image, with no distinct elements on it. Tall trees and buildings dominate the scene. The brushwork shows intricate cross-hatching and linework, creating detailed textures in the foliage and structures. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. There are trees and rocky terrain in the foreground, and in the distance, buildings with thatched roofs can be seen, possibly representing a rural village scene. Trees frame the setting.
